An improved numerical model for annular two-phase flow with liquid entrainment

Abstract:

The development of a transient numerical model to predict the characteristics of annular two-phase flow with entrainment is presented and discussed. The mathematical formulation of this model is based on finite volume mass, momentum and energy balances. Several constitutive relations are employed to describe the fluid-gas and entrainment interactions. Numerical results indicate that this model present a significant improvement over other existing models in predicting the annular flow characteristics. © 1988.
